I hope you all don't mind me joining February...My due date is March 2nd however I just found out i'm expecting twins (Yes, i'm completely shocked) and will most likely deliver the second week in Feb. They both look great and both have heartbeats at 189. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Just had my first ultrasound at 12 weeks! I was so excited and nervous. It's our first baby and my hubby really wanted to come see the ultrasound but they didn't allow him. The greatest feeling was hearing the heartbeat and watching the little bean jump during the ultrasound. I was told to go in with a full bladder and the baby was upside-down, they told me to empty my bladder and the baby turned around. So excited and I hope I get to bring my hubby to the next ultrasound!
I had my first MFM appointment today and found out that my twins are not di/di like they originally thought, they are mono/di...identical twins! MFM said I will deliver at 36 weeks (Feb 2nd) unless they come sooner. The babies looked fantastic!
The RN and Obgyn couldn’t find the babies heart rates with the doppler so they did an ultrasound. Heart rates are 164 & 169. They are feet to feet and were kicking each other.
Had my anatomy ultrasound today- relieved to say everything looked “textbook” as per the US tech. They were super respectful of me not wanting to know the sex and told me to not look when necessary. Seeing the detail of the hands and feet always amazes me! I didn’t get any printouts, but they sent me pictures digitally and even two short little videos of baby moving around. Loved seeing baby, but sad this is it till I give birth!
I’m so excited and proud to say that my guess was right! We are having identical GIRLS!!!! Baby A’s hr 151, Baby B’s hr 155. They are both equally weighing 5oz. MFM said they both look fantastic! 💜💜
Anatomy scan went perfectly! Baby girl was very wiggly!

Super jealous of y'all that have had ultrasounds so far! I've not had a single one yet! I'm still waiting for my appt to be made. They are suppose to call next week. I'm 17weeks, 5days today.
We had our anatomy scan today! Everything looks great so far, measuring right on track at 20w4d! Found out we are having a girl, so we will have one of each! (Baby boy is 15 months.)

I finally got them to call back and get an appt for this coming Thursday. Bc my first had a cerclage (even though my second did not require one), they have to do more than a 'basic' ultrasound and usually want to get as close to 20weeks as they can. I asked about having my husband there and he's allowed to go which is huge, especially with the world like it is now. So here's hoping I'll be posting a pic next Thurs.
Has a fun and easy anatomy scan last friday 19w5d (the first time my husband could join me to see baby in action during an ultrasound yay!) And we found out it's a girl (we were both convinced it was a boy, based on absolutely nothing as this will be our first). Everything looking good.
we had our 20 week anatomy scan a couple weeks ago! Found out we are having a baby boy who was measuring in at a pound already! Our due date got moved up to January 31st! And he already takes after his dad shooting finger guns in the second picture at the top!
Sorry, I’ve been MIA due to internet issues the past 2 weeks. I had an appointment at MFM on the 29th (birthday ultrasound). I found that I have placenta previa and also Baby B has a marginal cord insertion meaning Baby B is only receiving 30-40% of the nutrients and blood supply from the placenta while Baby A has a normal cord insertion and is receiving 60% of what the placenta has to offer. Both of these complications make me even more high risk. Baby girls both look good and are equally 7 ounces. Trying to stay positive and not get discouraged.
Anatomy scan done and found out we are having a BOY!! We were shocked, both of us were expecting a girl for some reason (even though I would often refer to him as "he") because we have a lot of girls in each of our families. The tech pointed out structures and everything she was looking at but won't hear official results until Monday
Baby #3 (boy) is healthy and growing nicely! This is the first time I got the ultrasound pic. I forgot to grab them at every other appointment. Sorry 3rd child 🤣🤣
I had my anatomy scan a week ago baby is looking pretty healthy, it’s a boy, we knew that already being I had a blood test but it was super cool seeing him flipping all about!
I had a 20 week ultrasound on Tuesday. Baby A is weighing 11oz. and Baby B is 10oz. Both girls had a hand up by their face...which is funny because I have an ultrasound of all three of my singletons like that. lol My husband was able to go to this ultrasound which was so nice because the last time he saw them they were gummy bears. 😊
@birdiejo Baby B is doing great! The cord insertion still remains the same. This is the first week that they haven't weighed the same. Baby A technically weighs 10.7oz (they round up) and Baby B weighs 10.1oz (they round down). So they aren't far off in their weights which I'm thankful for!
Got another peak at our baby girl! Had to do a second u/s to get all of the angles they wanted of her heart. She does not like to get her picture taken and kept rolling around, hiding behind my belly button. Everything looks great, and her growth is right on track!
